[QUOTE="robinsg61le, post: 2711317, member: 114527"] Hello Shooters, I am considering a new rifle. I prefer one rifle for antelope-deer-elk-moose-brown bear out to long range (800ish). I currently have a .300 PRC and I adore it (ultralight with extremely light recoil and w/.33 groups consistently). The one knock on my .300 PRC is that in order to get the performance I require, I have not been able to reduce the length of my barrel under 24". I would like to add a suppressor to my gun, but I am not willing to add several inches to my already long overall length. I have been seeing .338s more recently offered with 18" barrels and I am really tempted. I could add a suppressor and still be shorter overall than my current rifle. So... Here are my questions for you custom .338 guys: 1) Is it possible to build or purchase an 18" barrel, ultralight .338 with low recoil? -like similar recoil to a .270 with no break? (currently my ultralight .300 PRC kicks about like a 22-250 - seriously) 2) Would it be common for such gun to have the capability to shoot .5 MOA? Thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm not interested in starting a debate or discussing with folks without first-hand knowledge. Please - no hijackers. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
